[PATCH] x86_64: (resend) x86_64 stack overflow debugging
Take two, now without spurious whitespace :( Applies to git & 2.6.17-rc6
CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW existed for x86_64 in 2.4, but seems to have gone AWOL in 2.6.
I've pretty much just copied this over from the 2.4 code, with
appropriate tweaks for the 2.6 kernel, plus a bugfix. I'd personally
rather see it printed out the way other arches do it, i.e.
bytes-remaining-until-overflow, rather than having to do the subtraction
yourself. Also, only 128 bytes remaining seems awfully late to issue a
warning. But I'll start here :)
